Ten Days that Shook the World

The Gulag Archipelago, by Solzhenitsyn.

War and Peace by Tolstoy is the obvious answer. It contains a lot of history, is very philosophical, and is a world classic.

>not too long
Nvm faggot lmao; go read short stories by Dostoevsky, Gogol, Chekov, or Tolstoy I guess

The eXile's archives for recent Russian history

I too am looking for a, say, 90 page book on the entire history of russia. Not too wordy but definitely not for plebs preferrably written in english ( not a translation) by one of the great russian writers. Again, not for plebs.

Mah nigga

Well, if you cant handle 90 action packed pages of history, vibrantly told by a russian master(in english), maybe /lit/ isnt the place for you doll. Check out the pop-up section of your local scholastic book fair, pleb.

you've got to be fucking kidding. Not only are your other requirements already impossible, you want it to be written by one of the Russian greats AND originally in English? Nabokov is the only Russian great I can think of who wrote things originally in English, and Lolita is hardly what you're looking for here.

The entirety of human civilization fits neatly into under 700 pages of Finnegans Wake
